In the quest to discover the epitome of maritime luxury and distinction, the search for the Most Exclusive Yacht Clubs in America takes center stage. Owning a yacht is not merely a symbol of opulence; it is the initial stride towards securing a coveted position within the global elite. Yet, within this realm, it is widely acknowledged that membership in a prestigious yacht club holds equal, if not greater, significance than yacht ownership itself.

Consider the tale of Roman Abramovich, renowned for possessing one of the world's most opulent private jets and the most lavish yacht. Astonishingly, even these credentials failed to secure him entry into the inner sanctum of the British elite, who maintain their exclusivity with unwavering resolve. British yacht clubs, with their hallowed traditions, have long been revered as bastions of exclusivity. An example that stands out is the Royal Yacht Squadron, the world's most esteemed yacht club, which only admitted women as members in 2013, exemplifying the enduring barriers to entry even in the face of societal progress. Remarkably, this exclusivity extended even to Her Majesty the Queen, their patron, who, despite her regal association with the club, was not granted membership.

To identify the Most Exclusive Yacht Clubs in America, we embarked on a meticulous journey. Beginning with a thorough examination of the Platinum Clubs of America's esteemed listing of the finest yacht clubs in the United States, we elevated select candidates by acknowledging their triumphs in prestigious yachting events, including the illustrious America's Cup and the Resolute Cup, often hailed as the unofficial club championship of America in yachting. The culmination of our pursuit presents you with the ultimate showcase of yacht club exclusivity on American shores.

11. Southern Yacht Club

Location: New Orleans, Louisiana Founded: 1849

Southern Yacht Club suffered greatly from the Hurricane Katrina. The club house was severely damaged by the fire that broke during the storm and it had to be demolished. Unfortunately, a large number of priceless yachting artifacts were lost in the process. Still, the club survived and in 2009, the members celebrated 160 years since its founding. The club played an important role in New Orleans’ social life throughout its history and continues to do so. Southern Yacht Club organizes the Race to the Coast, one of the oldest yachting regattas in the Western hemisphere. Its members won 4 golden medals in the Summer Olympics for the United States.

10. Grosse Pointe Yacht Club

Location: Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan Founded: 1914

Founded by the group of 25 sailing enthusiasts in 1914, Grosse Pointe Yacht Club is located on the shores of Lake St. Clair. Its clubhouse, designed by Guy Lowell, is listed on National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately, Lowell didn’t get to see his creation, since he died at sea before the building was finished. The most prominent feature is the 187-ft bell tower, which doubles as the radio far for sailors on Lake St. Clair. In 1997, in a survey among the managers of the yacht clubs across the United States, Grosse Pointe Yacht Club was named Number One Yacht Club in America.

What started as a local association of enthusiasts to promote sailing on Intracoastal Waterway soon developed into one of the best yachting clubs in America. Among other amenities it offers to the members, Pal Palm Beach Yacht Club takes great pride in their restaurant, which won several prestigious international awards, like the Epicurean International Award, limited to just 100 restaurants on the planet.

8. Chicago Yacht Club

The Great Lakes offer some of the best freshwater sailings in the world and Chicago Yacht Club is taking full advantage of that fact. It hosts annual Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, which brings more than 3,000 sailors from the entire country to the shores of Lake Michigan and Chicago Harbor Lighthouse. Although often teased by the other clubs about their lack of saltiness, members of Chicago Yacht Club are very proud of their club and its achievements. Among notable members are Robert Halperin and William Parks, the bronze medalist from the 1960 Olympics.

7. Annapolis Yacht Club

Location: Annapolis, Maryland Founded: 1886

Annapolis, America’s Sailing Capital, is a home to a several yachting and boating clubs, but the premier spot goes to the Annapolis Yacht Club. Among other races, the club organizes the traditional Annapolis to Newport race, one of the most iconic races in America’s yachting history. Although the effects of a devastating fire that ravaged the clubhouse in 2015 are still visible, club’s 1600-strong membership body has come together to mend the disaster.

6. Newport Harbor Yacht Club

Location: Newport Beach, California Founded: 1916

Newport Harbor Yacht Club is one of the several premier clubs on the West coast. The club played a vital role in the development of Newport Beach throughout its history. Its clubhouse, built in 1919, is considered as one of the most important local landmarks and is one of the oldest clubhouses on our list. Despite several enlargements and reconstructions, it struggles to offer top notch service to the club’s members and plans for a new one are under development. In 1986, the club sent a crew to try and qualify for the next year’s America Cup, but unfortunately, they lost to the San Diego’s boat, which eventually won the Cup.

5. Carolina Yacht Club

Location: Charleston, South Carolina Founded: 1883

Located in the beautiful historic setting of Battery in Charleston’s downtown, Carolina Yacht Club looks like Scarlett O’Hara will come in any second accompanied by Captain Butler. The fact that the clubhouse is in the old cotton factor’s office, with Greek columns on the waterfront, only reinforces the impression of the Old South. Members like to boast that their club has the best yachting facilities on the East Coast. While there are quite a few clubs that would disagree, Caroline Yacht Club’s location with the access to Charleston Harbor is certainly among the best in the nation. It is one of the reasons for its high placement on our list of 11 most exclusive yacht clubs in America.

4. San Diego Yacht Club

Location: San Diego, California Founded: 1886

San Diego Yacht Club is one of the most prominent clubs in America’s yachting history. Its crews and boats won the America Cup two times, making it the only America club besides New York Yacht Club to take home the much-coveted Auld Mug. In their third attempt, they lost to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in 1995. It is also the original home of the Sir Thomas Lipton Cup, a prestigious regatta held annually since 1904. In order to provide its members with an excellent service, San Diego Yacht Club employs over 100 people in its clubhouse. The club runs one of the most successful youth programs in the country, which has a great appeal to members and wannabe members with kids.

3. The San Francisco Yacht Club

Location: Belvedere, California Founded: 1869

Founded in 1869, San Francisco Yacht Club is the oldest yachting club on the West Coast. The clubhouse was moved several times, until it finally settled in its current location, in Belvedere Cove, in 1926. The move split the membership and one group decided to form a new club, called St. Francis Yacht Club. Despite the controversy surrounding the relocation, it proved to be the right move, as Belvedere Cove is an excellent harbor and it allowed the club to create world-class amenities for its members and their guests. The clubhouse went through an extensive reconstruction in 2007, modernizing existing features and adding some new ones, in order to bring it up with the times.

2. St. Francis Yacht Club

Location: San Francisco Founded: 1927

Formed by the dissatisfied members of the San Francisco Yacht Club who opposed the move to Belvedere, St. Francis Yacht Club has quickly gained a reputation of a premier yacht club, often ranking higher than their rivals at the San Francisco Yacht Club, much to their chagrin. It is generally considered the most prestigious yacht club on the Western coast. One of the reasons for its popularity is the club’s location near the Golden Gate Bridge. Some of the most notable members include James David Zellerbach, Tom Blackaller, Pamela Healy, and Roy Disney.

1. New York Yacht Club

Location: New York, New York Founded: 1844

The cup itself is named after America, NYYC schooner which won the first cup ever held in 1851.

Purpose of a Yacht Club

The primary purpose of a yacht club is to promote and support the sport of yachting. This includes organizing sailing races, providing training courses, and offering facilities for members to store and maintain their yachts.

Activities at a Yacht Club

While racing and training are significant components of most yacht clubs, they also host various social events, ranging from casual get-togethers to formal galas. Some also offer amenities like restaurants, bars, fitness centers, and accommodation.

Why Do People Join Yacht Clubs?

There are numerous reasons why people join yacht clubs. Here are some of the main ones:

Yacht clubs provide a community of fellow yachting enthusiasts. They offer a space where members can share their passion for the sea, learn from each other, and form lasting friendships.

Facilities and Services

Yacht clubs often provide excellent facilities and services for their members. This can include access to private docks, boat storage and maintenance services, and discounts on sailing gear and equipment.

Events and Competitions

Members of yacht clubs have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of events and competitions. These can range from local regattas to international sailing championships.

The Etiquette of Yacht Clubs

Like any social club, yacht clubs have their own set of etiquette rules that members are expected to follow.

Respect for Tradition

Yacht clubs often have long-standing traditions that are important to their identity. This could include specific ceremonies, dress codes, or rules about behavior on and off the water.

Good Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship is highly valued in yacht clubs. Whether participating in a race or a casual sail, members are expected to respect the rules of the sport and their fellow sailors.

Responsibility

Members of yacht clubs are also expected to take responsibility for their actions. This includes taking care of club facilities, respecting the environment, and ensuring the safety of themselves and others.

What to Wear to a Yacht Club

When it comes to what to wear to a yacht club, the key is to strike a balance between comfort, practicality, and style.

Casual Events

For casual events or a day of sailing, opt for comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. This could include shorts or chinos, a polo shirt or t-shirt, and boat shoes or sneakers. Don’t forget your sunglasses and a hat for sun protection.

Formal Events

For formal events at the yacht club, smart-casual or cocktail attire is typically appropriate. Men might wear a blazer and trousers, while women could opt for a dress or smart separates. Remember, some yacht clubs may have specific dress codes for certain events, so it’s always a good idea to check in advance.

Embracing the Yacht Club Lifestyle

Joining a yacht club offers a unique lifestyle that combines sport, community, and a deep appreciation for the sea. It provides an opportunity to develop your sailing skills, participate in exciting events, and become part of a supportive and passionate community.

In conclusion, yacht clubs offer much more than just a place to dock your boat. They are vibrant communities that bring together individuals who share a love for yachting and the sea. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a complete beginner, joining a yacht club could open up a new world of experiences and friendships. So why not embrace the yacht club lifestyle and see where it takes you?

California's Boating & Fishing News

Two Southern California yacht clubs recognized on Top 50 list

Platinum Clubs organization names Newport Harbor YC and San Diego YC to worldwide compilation.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Newport Harbor and San Diego yacht clubs both earned a spot on the Top 50 Platinum Yacht Clubs for 2020-2021, it was recently announced. The worldwide list is compiled by Platinum Clubs of the World.

Placing on the list means a yacht club is presented with the title of “Five Star Clubs of Excellence.”

San Diego YC was founded in 1886 and has recently hosted sailing events such as Women’s Winter Invitational, Yachting Cup, the CA500, the SoCal 300, Dutch Shoe Marathon, International Masters Regatta and Lipton Cup.

Newport Harbor YC first opened its doors in 1916 and hosts the Newport to Cabo Race every two years, among other regattas.

Other yacht clubs making the Top 50 list included: Annapolis Yacht Club, Beach Point Club, Chicago Yacht Club, Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Nassau Yacht Club (Bahamas), Raffles Marina (Singapore), Real Club Nautico de Vigo (Spain), Royal Bombay Yacht Club (India), Royal Cork Yacht Club (Ireland), The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (Australia), Société des Régates du Havre (France), Yacht Club de Monaco and Yacht Club Santo Amaro (Brazil).

Two Southern California yacht clubs earned an Honorable Mention, scoring within three points of the Top 50 list: Balboa Yacht Club (Newport Beach) and California Yacht Club (Marina del Rey).

Fifty yacht clubs are selected based upon points awarded by a selected panel. A yacht club must score at least 8 points to qualify for the Top 50 list. Scoring is awarded as follows: 100 points for a top three club, 80 points for a ranking between four and 10, 60 points for 11 to 25 ranking, 40 points for 26-60 ranking, 20 points for 51-75 ranking and 10 points for 76-100 ranking.

Voting was conducted by 116 panelists from all around the world; panelists hailed from the United States, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Arab Emirates. Panelists vote every two years (odd years). Finalists are selected based upon submitted recommendations from panelists and applications from yacht clubs from around the world. A final ballot is eventually created and sent out to panelists. There is a 30-day voting period, with the election conducted electronically (via a third party).

“Points are awarded by the position and ranking that the panelist assigns to each club. The total number of points is calculated and divided by the total number of panelists who have visited a club to determine the final points score,” a Platinum Clubs of the World statement about the voting process said.

The Club Leaders Forum Advisory Board of the Platinum Clubs of the World compiled the Top 50 list. Platinum Clubs of America have been recognizing top yacht clubs for more than 20 years.

25+ best yachting blogs & websites to stay up to date.

Whether you are a captain, engineer, or yacht owner, staying up to date with industry news and improving your skillset is very important. It might be a good idea to surround yourself with like-minded people you can learn from, even if this happens through the perks of today’s technology.

In both cases, the best way to do this is by building a database of the best yachting blogs, websites, and forums. And this is exactly why we wrote this article. 

Over the next few chapters, we briefly introduce some of the most trusted yachting resources, compiled in an article that you can bookmark for future reference. Let’s delve in!

Best yachting websites & digital magazines

Best yachting blogs & digital magazines, yacht forums to consider.

The following publications are well known across the yachting industry, with several of them being digital alternatives to popular print magazines. 

1. Superyacht News

Superyacht News is a publication that covers everything related to business, tech, ownership, design, and management of luxury vessels. Known as one of the best superyacht websites, it keeps readers up to date with everything related to the industry, while also publishing print magazines.

2. Yachting Monthly

Being one of the top yacht websites, Yachting Monthly is one of the most popular boating publications in the UK. The digital publication discusses yacht news, races, boat, and equipment reviews, as well as the skills you need to become a master sailor.

3. Genesis Luxury Interiors

A somewhat inactive yet very resourceful website, Genesis Interiors is the best yachting publication for those who want to learn more about (luxury) interior design for their vessel. It is thus a somewhat “niched” website focused on superyacht owners with a keen interest in interior decoration. 

4. Yachting Pages

Yachting Pages is the most popular directory of the industry and is often seen as a participant or sponsor of boating events. The website is used by people who wish to find a particular service, product, or event related to the yachting industry, in their location.

5. SuperYacht Times

The SuperYacht Times is a digital publication that features interviews with the most influential personas of the industry, information on vessels, as well as boat shows. The website also has a video section that further delves into the discussed topics, giving a rich overview.

 6. Luxuo Yacht Archives

Luxuo is a website that covers multiple industries linked with luxury products and lifestyles. Among them, we also find yachting, with news mainly concerning reviews of superyachts, as well as lists posts covering everything from boats to equipment. While it may not be the best yachting blog on this list, it is definitely one you should check out.

7. Yachts & Yachting UK

Yachts & Yachting is more oriented towards performance sailing. The website presents the latest news in the racing scene accompanied by beautiful photos and inspiration from top performers. The website also has a value-packed newsletter that is sent out once per month.

8. Digital Yacht

Digital Yacht is one of the best yachting blogs for engineers as it delves into marine electronics and the progress of technology in the sector. Apart from being an educational resource, the website also has a dedicated e-commerce store with a wide range of products related to    electrical systems onboard.

9. Lovesail

Since we are covering all aspects of importance, we couldn’t leave out the dating scene. Lovesail is a website that brings together single and solo boating enthusiasts to create meetups, dating opportunities, and other types of events.

10. Boat International

Boat International is a globally recognized publication that delves into the industry’s latest news, yard updates, opinion pieces, and superyacht sales. There are enough subcategories to accommodate the needs of any boat enthusiast and the news section is always well-written and up to date.

11. OnboardOnline 

OnboardOnline is a news portal that delves into the latest news, interviews and stories of the (super) yacht industry. The publication is not just a great publication to help you stay up to date, but also a resource for those looking to learn more about key industry players. 

12. Dockwalk

While Dockwalk is more commonly known for its monthly print edition, the digital publication has also grown in popularity. Among the useful resources, the website offers a blog section with entertaining content, a dedicated forum section, as well as a directory of industry-relevant companies and their contact details.

13. Boat Lyfe

Boat Lyfe is a minimalistic-looking news portal with a separate forums section. Topics range from sailing and speedboats all the way to luxury superyachts, and there are many different categories to choose from.

14. Yacht Harbour

Yacht Harbour is a news outlet and yacht brokerage featuring boats for sale and chartering. The news section of the website is also split into two distinct categories, namely “yacht news” and “brokerage news”. Therefore, one could say that it targeted mainly towards potential boat owners.

15. Galati Yachts

Galati is a US-based yacht brokerage company. Their website covers latest news, opinion articles, upcoming events, and boating advice. With more than 50 years of experience, Galati is now known as “one of the largest and most respected yacht brokerage companies in the world”.

16. SuperYacht World

SuperYacht World is a global magazine for superyacht owners and luxury boating enthusiasts. The news section of the website has not been updated in a while, but still offers an archive with useful information that you can skim through aside from the print version.

17. CharterWorld

While CharterWorld is not necessarily a blog or news portal, the website offers resourceful content to help yachting enthusiasts make more sense of the industry. Through a list of educational articles, their “Inspiration” and “Advice” sections are great resources for relative beginners.

18. Yacht Bible

Yacht Bible is a superyacht and luxury yacht directory featuring all the latest yachts and news in the industry. Yacht Bible features a wide selection of both yachts for sale and charter from all around the world.

Yachting blogs are a little different than news portals, as they do not primarily focus on the latest news and updates. Instead, they are more oriented towards educational content, yachting advice and opinion pieces.

18. The Yacht Owner

This blog is dedicated to owners and brokers of different types of yachts. According to its author and ship engineer Daniel Popescu, The Yacht Owner helps readers give better advice in the circles of their occupation, while also getting a better understanding of the things to look out for when buying a yacht. 

19. Heesen Yachts

• Ketel One Sustainable Bar Award 2023

A far cry from the exclusivity of real members’ only boating social clubs, irreverence is the name of the game at Denver’s Yacht Club, a self-proclaimed ‘anti-club club’ that bears the playful slogan: ‘Yachty by nature’. There, owners Mary Allison Wright and McLain Hedges aimed to combine three of their favorite types of drinking joints – cocktail bars, natural wine bars and dive bars – to achieve the ultimate hangout for locals and visitors alike. Thanks to its eco principles, Yacht Club is named the winner of the Ketel One Sustainable Bar Award 2023 . Located in North Denver’s historic Cole neighborhood, there is zero pretension at the casual bar, which many Coloradans consider the equivalent of their modern Cheers. Drinks-wise, the programme mixes an eclectic approach of high – they have a fortified wine bottle list, for example – and low (like the Old No. 7-11 combo, which is a Jack and Coke with a hot dog). Even the finest spirits find a home in quickie combinations, which also sometimes skew somewhat nautical, with drinks like the Frozen Banana Daiquiri and Champagne Mojito bringing breezy fun to the mix, and the ‘Soft Bangers’ section of the menu features a few alcohol-free options for non-imbibers.

Clubspot: The All-In-One Club Management Platform Built Specifically for Yacht Clubs

September 1, 2021 by Sail1Design Editor 2 Comments

The All-In-One Club Management Platform Built Specifically for Yacht Clubs

Clubspot does much more than just regattas and junior program management. Built and run by sailors, Clubspot is the only club management software platform available that has everything yacht clubs need to manage operations. In a single platform, clubs can manage membership billing, marina management, Point of Sale, reservations, communications, accounting, social events, and of course, regattas & junior program management.

Other software providers only offer some of the tools/services that yacht clubs need, requiring clubs to have other third-party services to fill in the missing pieces. This leads to additional expenses, multiple platforms for club administrators to monitor, and an overall less cohesive online experience for members. Combine this with our experienced customer service team and no upfront setup costs, it is without a doubt the best option available for yacht clubs. Your club can save money, streamline operations, and vastly improve the membership experience by switching to Clubspot.

If your club is tired of using multiple platforms that aren’t designed for yacht clubs or simply want to see what 21st century yacht club management looks like, visit our website and book a platform demo here . Taking the time for a short demo can lead to a significantly better club experience for years to come. Take the first step and book a demo today!

I’m racing in the Challenged Sailors SD/Coronado YC KMAC Regatta. It was mentioned that no one had signed up for the Coronado YC Championship Races to be held after the KMAC racers come in. I spent most of the board meeting trying to sign up for the Championship Race, and honestly, I can’t even remember how I signed up. In addition, there was no way to sign up for just the Race and not the Race plus two dinner tickets, which since this was a second race I already paid for dinner tickets when I signed up for the KMAC. I dread signing up for races in Clubspot. The menu structure is not convenient, requiring sorting through hundreds of yacht clubs and all of their races to find one race. And the race naming is inconsistent the KMAC IV is listed for both 2020 and 2021, then this year it’s not KMAC V of KMAC VI it’s just KMAC. A logical sort method would be Region, then perhaps yacht club association, the name of the race, or YC, and name of the race(s). For some reason when the local YCs put signups for races on their own websites, they were more organized and easier to find. Now that most have gone to Clubspot the signups are a PITA! And, when I say that, it’s coming from a Systems Engineer that worked on the Navy’s biggest integrated systems, and used computers for work on networks and/or integrated Computer systems, since 1991! yesterday I clearly saw the results of signing up for two races and today only one race is shown?!

@Edward We recently launched our updated events list here: https://theclubspot.com/events It has an easier search and the interface separates out previous and future events. While we always let clubs name their own regattas, our improved search allows you search by the event name or the hosting yacht club to easily find the regatta you are looking for!

Live updates: Seven dead in 56m superyacht Bayesian sinking tragedy

Seven people have died in the Bayesian sinking disaster. These include the six missing people who were inside the yacht when it sank, as well as a seventh person who was located shortly after the disaster. The seventh person is understood to be the yacht's chef, Recaldo Thomas. The other six are:

• British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, once dubbed 'Britain's Bill Gates'
• Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah
• Morgan Stanley's chairman, Jonathan Bloomer
• Judy Bloomer, wife of Morgan Stanley chairman
• Chris Morvillo, a lawyer working for London-based law firm Clifford Chance
• Neda Morvillo, an American jewellery designer and Chris' wife

It is understood that the yacht was being used to celebrate Lynch's recent victory in a 13-year £8 billion fraud acquittal.

No one remembers the mast snapping before 56m superyacht Bayesian sunk, says crew

No one recalls seeing the mast snap on board the 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian which sank off the Italian island of Sicily on 19 August. The eyewitness account of a crewmember on board the vessel, which was obtained by BOAT International , said that the boat was struck by a freak weather event which led to the yacht heeling at around 20 degrees to starboard. As crewmembers were securing items, the heeling angle began to increase rapidly until the yacht started taking on water and sank rapidly.

The crewmembers who were up on deck were able to evacuate the yacht with minor injuries. The yacht is understood to have sunk in just twelve minutes, and it is believed that a "major ingress" of water from the top down would have caused the sinking, according to a captain who wishes to remain anonymous. This is based on the fact that no breaches have been reported in the yacht's hull, and the fact that the yacht should have been able to remain afloat with two flooded compartments.

"Very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" says captain of sistership

The captain of the sistership to the sunken 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian has said it is "very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" and called the 56-metre Perini Navi series "bulletproof".

David Hutchinson, captain of Rosehearty , said he had taken the yacht around the world multiple times and he had "total faith in the boat".  "We've been to Antarctica and Chile, and we've had her in 70 knots of wind," he says, and the vessel had never put them in a situation that felt unmanageable.

However, Hutchinson noted there were differences between Bayesian and Rosehearty ; notably, Bayesian's  74-metre mast, which would have been heavier and added increased windage. The yacht's layout was also different, with guest accommodation on Bayesian located further forward.

Live updates

• During a news conference on Saturday morning (24 August), prosecutors confirmed they are in the early stages of investigating a "crime hypothesis" of culpable shipwreck and manslaughter. Authorities also said the yacht likely sunk because of a downburst (powerful wind that descends from a thunderstorm), rather than a waterspout.
• A search and rescue for six missing people has concluded. The final missing person is understood to be Hannah Lynch. 
• According to Reuters, six bodies have now been found in the sunken yacht. These include Mike Lynch, a British technology entrepreneur who co-founded Autonomy Corporation and founded Invoke Capital, although Italian authorities have not confirmed this.  
• One person was found immediately after the yacht sunk, and this is understood to be the yacht's chef. 
• Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, and a one-year-old are among the fifteen people rescued along with Bayesian' s captain, James Cutfield.
• Another sailing vessel in the area, the 42-metre Sir Robert Baden Powell ,  stepped in to offer assistance in the initial rescue.
• Divers have been able to reach Bayesian' s sunken hull, which lies at 45 metres of depth about half a mile from the coast. The yacht had the largest aluminium masts of any sailing yacht on the water.
• Eyewitnesses in the area reported "hurricane" conditions off the coast but local weather websites did not indicate any severe squall, which suggests that the weather event was not forecast.
• At around 5am local time on 19 August, Bayesian was hit by bad weather and sunk.  The sailing yacht was anchored or idle at the time of the incident.

Built in Italy by renowned builder Perini Navi and delivered in 2008, the yacht's naval architecture was developed by Ron Holland Design while the interior design is by Rémi Tessier . She was formerly known as Salute and was last refitted in 2016. She was listed for sale earlier this year, according to BOATPro . The yacht had accommodation for nine guests and 12 crew.

BOAT International will update the story as it develops.

The best yacht clubs in moscow and premium new buildings next to them.

The moorings within the Moscow Ring Road allow regular sailing even for those who, due to high employment, cannot often travel out of town

Passenger river transportation is being actively revived in Moscow. Already in June, for the first time in 17 years, the authorities promise to launch river buses. Maybe that's why the idea of ​​owning a yacht is increasingly coming up among wealthy Muscovites, and there are more and more yachtsmen who would like to live close to the place of attraction of like-minded people. Next to the yacht clubs there are 21 projects in the primary market of Moscow. More than half of these projects are premium. The experts of the Elitnoye.ru portal, using the data of the Metrium company, decided to talk about the leading metropolitan centers of yachting and tourism, as well as about the premium-class complexes adjacent to them.

Dream Island Marina on the Nagatinsky Peninsula

Dream Island Marina is located on the Nagatinsky Peninsula, in the harbor of the Northern Landscape Park of the Dream Island entertainment center. This is the only modern yacht club (opened in 2021) in the central part of the capital's water area. Moreover, its port stands at the source of a large-scale deep-sea system of the European part of Russia, which unites the whole country. The club has two berths with a capacity of up to 40 seats. The water area is designed for boats and yachts of any size. There is a school of navigators, which teaches how to operate a small vessel. You can rent catamarans, boats and yachts. A restaurant with a grill area is open. Nearby is Dream Island Wake Park, where you can go water skiing and wake surfing.

The closest new building to Dream Island Marina is the Dream Towers residential complex (pictured). Apartments in the project cost 484.2 thousand rubles on average per sq. m. meter. The houses are planned to be put into operation in the next month.

Moscow Imperial River Yacht Club on Balchug Island

The Moscow Imperial River Yacht Club is located in the center, next to the monument to Peter the Great on Balchug Island. The founders of the yacht club restored an old building on the banks of the Moscow River. Today it hosts social events. The development of the club mainly depends on the implementation of the new quarter “Red October”, adjacent to the water. The developer of the project – Guta Development – is going to restore the berths for ships and river taxis.

Not far from the yacht club, sales are carried out in four projects: Residences Zamoskvorechye, Sky House, Golutvinsky, 10 and Vernissage. In “Residences Zamoskvorechye” “square” will cost an average of 517.1 thousand rubles, in Sky House – 401.5 thousand rubles. Both complexes have already been put into operation. In “Golutvinsky, 10” the average price per square meter. meters is 1.3 million rubles. Keys have to wait until the end of the year. In Vernissage, a “square” costs 634.2 thousand rubles. The house will be completed in the second quarter of 2024.

Berth of the Moscow City business center

The pier is located on the territory of the Moscow City business center, which and gave it a name. Charter and pleasure flights depart from the Moscow-City pier. Here you can rent cruise and pleasure yachts even for a few days.

The Oko and Neva Towers skyscrapers are being built in the business center itself. Both are ready. In the first quarter a meter will cost an average of 679.3 thousand rubles, in the second – 660.3 thousand. Also, the Onest quarter is being built nearby, where prices are higher: an average of 724.9 rubles. However, delivery is scheduled only for the second quarter of 2025.

Estate Park on Serebryany Bor Island

Manor Park is the largest yacht club on Serebryany Bor Island. The yacht port has a berth designed for 36 vessels up to 15 meters long. Rowing boat rental, boating and jet skiing, on the “banana” are available. The pier is combined with the Manor restaurant.

The nearest complexes are Capital Coast and Wellton Spa Residence. In the already finished project “Coast of the Capital” sq. meter is estimated by the developer at an average of 767.6 thousand rubles. In Wellton Spa Residence, the average “square” costs 481 thousand rubles. The project is going to go live in about a month.

Radisson Royal Moscow flotilla near Ukraine Hotel

The Radisson Royal Moscow flotilla is a transport company, and its largest berth is located on the embankment near the Ukraine Hotel. River trams, yachts and motor ships constantly start from here. You can rent the ships of the flotilla, but you won’t be able to rent a place for your own yacht on this pier.

Less than a kilometer from the base of the Radisson Royal Moscow flotilla, the Badaevsky complex is being built. You can buy an apartment here for an average of 1 million rubles per sq. meter. The project will be commissioned at the end of 2025.

What we know about the Bayesian superyacht that sank

The Bayesian, which capsized in the early hours of Monday, was an award-winning yacht with the second-tallest mast in the world.

News reporter @niamhielynch

Friday 23 August 2024 12:37, UK

The Bayesian, an award-winning superyacht, sank during bad weather off the coast of Sicily in the early hours of Monday.

On Thursday, authorities confirmed divers had found the bodies of British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, Morgan Stanley International boss Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy, and one of Mr Lynch's lawyers Chris Morvillo, and his wife Neda.

Recaldo Thomas, the on-board chef, was the first to be confirmed dead earlier this week.

Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, was rescued along with 14 others - including Charlotte Golunski, a mother who told la Repubblica she held her one-year-old baby above the waves to save her from drowning.

Mr Lynch's 18-year-old daughter Hannah is missing, but believed to be the seventh body recovered from the wreckage on Friday.

But what do we know about the ship?

The British-flagged 56-metre ship - previously called the Salute - was built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, and refitted in 2020.

Its 72-metre mast was the world's tallest aluminium mast, and the second-tallest overall. The yacht could reach a maximum speed of 15 knots and weighed 543 tonnes.

The French design house Remi Tessier fitted out the Japanese-style interior decor, with touches of light and dark beige and dark wood furnishings, as well as a teak deck.

It won the best exterior styling at The World Superyacht Awards in 2009, and best interior at the International Superyacht Society Awards 2008.

It had six guest bedrooms - one master, three doubles, and two twins - holding 12 people, and could carry another 10 crew members.

Pictures show air conditioning units in several of the bedrooms, which could counter expert claims open windows may have caused water to rush in and tip the boat over faster.

Shipspotting.com says it was owned by a firm called Revtom Limited. Mike Lynch's wife, Ms Bacares, is named as the sole shareholder of the firm on company documents.

The yacht's name would resonate with Mr Lynch because his PhD thesis and the software that made his fortune involved a statistical method known as Bayesian inference, based on an 18th-century theory, which helps forecasters predict outcomes more reliably.

What We Know About Kamala Harris’s $5 Trillion Tax Plan So Far

The vice president supports the tax increases proposed by the Biden White House, according to her campaign.

• Share full article

By Andrew Duehren

Reporting from Washington

In a campaign otherwise light on policy specifics, Vice President Kamala Harris this week quietly rolled out her most detailed, far-ranging proposal yet: nearly $5 trillion in tax increases over a decade.

That’s how much more revenue the federal government would raise if it adopted a number of tax increases that President Biden proposed in the spring . Ms. Harris’s campaign said this week that she supported those tax hikes, which were thoroughly laid out in the most recent federal budget plan prepared by the Biden administration.

No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

While tax policy is right now a subplot in a turbulent presidential campaign, it will be a primary policy issue in Washington next year. The next president will have to work with Congress to address the tax cuts Donald J. Trump signed into law in 2017. Many of those tax cuts expire after 2025, meaning millions of Americans will see their taxes go up if lawmakers don’t reach a deal next year.

Here’s an overview of what we now know — and still don’t know — about the Democratic nominee’s views on taxes.

Higher taxes on corporations

The most recent White House budget includes several proposals that would raise taxes on large corporations . Chief among them is raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent, a step that the Treasury Department estimated could bring in $1.3 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years.

Because the vice president supports the Biden budget’s tax hikes, Ms. Harris has also endorsed raising a tax on stock buybacks to 4 percent from 1 percent. Democrats first approved the stock buyback tax in 2022 as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. The legislation also requires big companies to pay taxes worth at least 15 percent of the income they report to investors. The goal of the new minimum tax is to curb companies’ ability to use deductions and tax credits to shrink their tax liability to as low as zero. Mr. Biden’s budget — and now Ms. Harris’s presidential campaign — calls for increasing that minimum tax to 21 percent from 15 percent.

In his budget, Mr. Biden also put out an overhaul of how multinational companies’ foreign earnings are taxed in the United States. The goal is to bring the United States into compliance with an international agreement that aims to stop companies moving into low-tax jurisdictions to avoid paying taxes. Mr. Biden’s budget calls for increasing and reorganizing a global minimum tax. Under the plan, the tax would be assessed on income in each individual country where the company operates, rather than on its global profits overall. The rate would double to 21 percent from 10.5 percent.

The budget Ms. Harris has now adopted also disallows companies from deducting the compensation of all employees making more than $1 million.

High-earning Americans would pay more

The White House tax plan would raise taxes on high-income Americans through two avenues: First, by increasing the rate they pay on existing income taxes, and second, by more broadly reshaping the taxation of investment gains for the wealthiest taxpayers.

Ms. Harris would set the top marginal income rate at 39.6 percent, up from 37 percent. On top of that, she would also increase the rate on two parallel Medicare surtaxes to 5 percent from 3.8 percent for Americans making more than $400,000 and expand the income subject to one of them. Together, the Medicare and income proposals would create a top marginal rate as high as 44.6 percent.

Wealthy Americans would see more fundamental changes in how gains on investments in stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets are taxed. For Americans making more than $1 million a year, investment earnings would be taxed at the same rate as regular income, instead of at the lower rates for capital gains.

The White House tax plan targets what some Democrats see as a gaping loophole in the tax code: the so-called step-up in basis. Under the current law, Americans owe capital-gains taxes when an asset is sold, but not if they pass those assets on to someone else at the time of their death. That means someone who inherits assets from a deceased parent, for example, does not have to pay taxes on how much those assets appreciated since they were purchased. Instead, the person who inherits the assets has to pay taxes on the gains only from the time they were inherited — and only once they are sold.

Ms. Harris has endorsed a plan to tax the gains on those assets at the original owner’s death, though several exemptions would apply, including when a surviving spouse inherits the assets.

The tax plan would also try to tax the wealthiest Americans’ investment gains before they sell the assets or die. People with more than $100 million in wealth would have to pay at least 25 percent on a combination of their income and their unrealized capital gains — the value of the appreciation in the stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets that they own but haven’t sold. The so-called billionaires-minimum tax could create hefty tax bills for people like Elon Musk who derive much of their wealth from stock they own.

Questions still loom

Ms. Harris’s commitment to the White House budget clarifies much about how she hopes to raise revenue if she wins the election in November. But even the thick White House budget leaves several key tax questions unaddressed, including how exactly Democrats should approach the expiration of key provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act next year.

The expiring measures included a broader standard deduction, lower marginal income rates for many Americans, and a generous deduction for owners of many closely-held businesses. The White House tax plan states that Americans making less than $400,000 should not see tax increases in a deal. That means that Ms. Harris wants to extend much of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, her Republican rival’s signature legislative accomplishment.

Extending the tax cuts for Americans making less than $400,000 could take up much of the roughly $4 trillion cost for continuing all of the lapsing provisions.

Ms. Harris’s campaign has said she would seek to reduce the deficit. But other proposed tax cuts are piling up. On the campaign trail, Ms. Harris has rolled out spending plans and several tax cuts, including a more generous child tax credit, that the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates could cost roughly $2 trillion over a decade.

This week, Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat and the majority leader, called for the restoration of a huge tax break: the state and local tax deduction. That deduction is currently capped at $10,000, but the limit expires after next year. Fully restoring the ability of Americans to deduct their state and local taxes from their federal bills could cost roughly $1 trillion over a decade.

So the $5 trillion in tax increases embraced by Ms. Harris this week may not ultimately be enough to cover the cost of her and other Democrats’ ambitions next year.
